Title: Need a Clarification on Definition
Post by: Logic on September 05, 2004, 08:38:45 PM
What exactly does "Christ On Cavalry" mean?  I read the phrase for my religious philiosophy class and I'm not certain as to what it is.

Thanks

It is not "cavalry". It is:

 "Main Entry: cal·va·ry
Pronunciation: 'kal-v(&-)rE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ries
Etymology: Calvary, the hill near Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified
1 : an open-air representation of the crucifixion of Jesus"

***Merriam Webster Online Dictionary

Luke 23:33.  "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left."***

***King James Bible
